Otherness.
We pair of home-comers built
from lonely baggage a neap-tide harbour
and painted an idyll of walled delight
from sad and where care covered raw scars.
Our easy laughter sparked need
to spend new-found treasure in bounteous
tending far moments of nearness
as pleasure made arid into watered ground.
Love\'s tenderness stoked fresh heat
in forgotten feelings, blazed paths to places
I had never been and seared heaven
into my solo existence by giving and taking.
Oil of romance honed compatibility,
which gave virtual joinings a closeness of flesh.
Yield reached unbelievable bliss
and that better otherness I shall ever remember.
